I was looking thru your dictionary and couldn't find the signs
for hello and goodbye. I'm sure they are universal like just
waving your hand or something. I have been using your dictionary
to teach my deaf dog signs so we can communicate. I don't know
what to do when I tell her goodbye so I just tell her good girl
then leave. Is goodbye and hello just as simple as the "quiet"
sign?
Thanks,

Amy,
That is right. Just use the same signs that you would in the "hearing
world." While there is no one specific type of "wave," in general you
wave hello with a side to side movement. Wave good bye with a bending
of the large knuckles or at the wrist.
